Where do you see yourself in five years?
Provide an honest answer and do not hesitate to mention you would be open to eventually moving up the ladder should the opportunity arise, i.e., that growth opportunities will be more than welcome. This will demonstrate you have leadership skills, a willingness to learn beyond your original job scope, and a desire to commit to your employer.
"I see myself working for the same employer, being established and having grown with the organization and contribute to the bottom line. I hope to keep learning and being given the opportunity to prove myself as a valuable team member."

I hope to see myself in five years with your organization as a K9 manager or supervisor and to keep learning in my position and having the opportunity to prove myself as a valuable team member.

Good! If there is a specific role within FWC that you can refer to, that would strengthen your response even further.

In five years I hope to see myself with your organization. I hope to learn, succeed, and grow within the organization.

That's great that you're coming to this interview with such a sense of loyalty and a desire to stay with the organization for 5 years. However, I suggest adding a specific detail or two about exactly what it means to "learn, succeed, and grow" within the organization.
